Congratulations to the team. Knowing some of the folks on the Bun team I can not say I am surprised. They are the top 0,001% of engineers, writing code out of love. I’m hugely bullish on Anthropic, this is a great first acquisition.

And its faster than Vercel!

Vistors are successfully bypassing age verification by using showing pictures of movie characters or their dog to complete photo age verification.

Something to understand about the word “leak” is that it implies at some point it was keeping things in. Microsoft security is so underfunded and garbage, it is fundamentally making technology as a whole unsafe.

Example: if Kroger or whatever your supermarket of choice distributed meat that was infected they would get sued to bits. Microsoft distributes thousands of malicious NPM dependencies and underfund the NPM security team - if there is such a thing - resulting in an entire industry of supplychain security companies to exist. No other registry has the issue of malicious packages as badly as NPM since Microsoft acquired Github.

Microsoft just does not know how to handle security, which is why so many security companies exist to fill their gaps. I don’t trust their security practices one bit tbh.

Back at one of my previous employers we had a long internal briefing about why our latest device did not have USB-C when other solutions on the market by then had.

The connector is solid but my god have there been disasters because of USB-C.

1. Power distribution upto high wattage, not always with auto sensing, 2. Wites rated to different data transmission speeds. 3. USB standard data transfers and Thunderbolt over the same connector and wire but most accessories are not rated for Thunderbolt.

Omg I love it and I hate it.

Having worked on bot detection in the past. Some really simple old fashioned attacks happened by doing the opposite of what the robots.txt file says.

While I doubt it does much today, that file really only matters to those that want to play by the rules which on the free web is not an awful lot of the web anymore I’m afraid.

Wondering what the hotels in Vegas around Defcon will think of it this year lol.

Love Elixir so much, building a kick-ass notification engine with it now. Its so so good.
